Title: Rahul Should Read & Learn the Constitution: BJP’s Chandrasekhar
The ongoing debate over the Waqf Bill has taken a new turn with BJP leader Rajeev Chandrasekhar taking a jibe at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. In a recent tweet, Chandrasekhar criticized Gandhi for his criticism of the bill, saying that the Congress leader should “read, learn the Constitution” before commenting on it.
The Waqf Bill, introduced by the BJP government, aims to ensure that Waqf land is used for the benefit of poor Muslims and not exploited by rich politicians or builders. The bill has been facing opposition from various quarters, including the Congress party, which has accused the government of trying to divide the Muslim community.
Chandrasekhar’s tweet was in response to Gandhi’s criticism of the bill, which he claimed would “destroy” the Waqf system. Gandhi also accused the government of trying to “politicize” the issue and create “divisions” within the Muslim community.
However, Chandrasekhar was quick to respond, saying that Gandhi’s criticism was based on a lack of understanding of the bill. “One thing I recommend to Constitution-waving, India-bashing Rahul Gandhi is that he reads, learns the Constitution,” Chandrasekhar tweeted. “PM Narendra Modi’s [Waqf Bill]…ensures that Waqf land is used for the benefit of poor Muslims not rich Cong builder/politicians.”
Chandrasekhar’s criticism of Gandhi comes at a time when the Congress party is already reeling from a series of defeats in recent elections. Gandhi’s criticism of the Waqf Bill has been seen as an attempt to revive the party’s fortunes by appealing to Muslims, who are a significant voting bloc in India.
However, Chandrasekhar’s response suggests that the BJP is not going to let Gandhi get away with his criticism scot-free. The BJP leader has taken Gandhi to task, saying that he lacks a deep understanding of the Constitution and the Waqf system.
This is not the first time that Gandhi has been criticized by the BJP for his criticism of government policies. In recent months, Gandhi has been vocal in his criticism of the government’s policies, including the Citizenship Amendment Act and the National Register of Citizens.
However, his criticism of the Waqf Bill has been seen as particularly misguided by the BJP, which claims that the bill is aimed at protecting the interests of poor Muslims. The party claims that the bill will ensure that Waqf land, which is currently managed by Muslim religious bodies, is used for the benefit of the poor and not exploited by rich politicians or builders.
Gandhi’s criticism of the bill has been met with criticism from various quarters, including Muslim religious bodies and some members of the Congress party. These groups have accused Gandhi of trying to divide the Muslim community by opposing the bill.
However, Gandhi has maintained that the bill is an attempt to “divide” the Muslim community and create “divisions” within it. He has also accused the government of trying to “politicize” the issue and use it to create a divide between Muslims and other communities.
In conclusion, the debate over the Waqf Bill has taken a new turn with BJP leader Rajeev Chandrasekhar criticizing Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for his criticism of the bill. Chandrasekhar has taken Gandhi to task, saying that he lacks a deep understanding of the Constitution and the Waqf system. The BJP claims that the bill is aimed at protecting the interests of poor Muslims, while Gandhi claims that it is an attempt to divide the Muslim community.
As the debate continues, it remains to be seen whether Gandhi’s criticism of the bill will have any impact on the party’s fortunes. However, it is clear that the BJP is not going to let Gandhi get away with his criticism scot-free and will continue to counter his criticism with its own set of arguments.
